Former U.S. Rep. George Santos, a Republican who was exposed for spinning a web of lies that devolved into identity theft and wire fraud, was sentenced to serve 87 months in prison, the length that prosecutors sought.
“Santos’ disgraceful and greedy conduct has been exposed and at last it’s been brought to justice,” John Durham, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said following the sentencing at Central Islip federal court on Friday, April 25.
